Self destruct

[Liquorice]

My life has changed since I turned 18 and moved in with my boyfriend, I travel four hours a day for work, I need to also look for another job, get my licence and learn how to drive. But my anxiety has reached a point where I can barely get ready for work without falling into a total panic attack resulting in broken things. I am putting way too much strain on my partner who has been phenomenally patient with me. I do not have many friends that I can talk to, and especially not in a safe, private space. I feel as though I will lose everything if I don’t find some support to help me learn to not worry

Hi liquorice

Im in a totally different situation but i fully understand those feelings too. Everymorning im a total mess with panic attacks anxiety etc. I also dont have many friends i would tell about this but im very lucky to have an amazing partner but wonder how long he can deal with this.

I suggest maybe going to see a gp and see your options (i finally did a few days ago) you will be suprised how seeking help can improve things even just slightly.

Use these forums too they are super helpful 💙
